Violet-crowned Hummingbird
Spread your wings and fly
Violet-crowned Hummingbird
A strong will to survive
It's been a long, long, long, long road
For you and I
It takes a lot of wind from your sails
Just to live within this world and prevail
One day you're down
And the next day you're down again
When, oh when, will you feel better?
Then the nighttime comes and there is no need to pretend
Violet-crowned Hummingbird
Pathway through the sky
Violet-crowned Hummingbird
At feeder number 5
Waiting for the day
When you can thrive
When the sun begins to shine
It's another chance to rise or resign
One hour you're up
And the next hour you're down again
When, oh when, will you feel better?
Then the nighttime comes and there is no need to pretend
Find food, find shelter
Find peace of mind in this helter-skelter
Oh, darling bird, don't be scared
You can count on me 'cause I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
